We met with my brother and sister-in-law a few weeks ago
to have a much needed discussion. Everyone had important things say.
Things that perhaps have been held in for over a year now. I
thank God that this was a good meeting. Certainly not
everything was solved, but it was a step in the right direction.
This is something that I have requested prayer for since the beginning.
Thanks to God and to all of you who prayed for a breakthrough on this
front. Please continue to pray that this meeting will be followed up
with other quality time spent together.

The other big news this month is that Businelle Company has
opened its doors in Houston TX. We even have a Web site at www.Businelle.com.
The web site is not much to look at. It is more just a way for people to
get in touch with us. Our focus is going to be information technology
(computers) and we are also looking into other technology areas. We
have already won our first contract with a very large company thanks to some
personal friendships. We will have to wait-and-see what God has planned
for this company.

My physical condition has been quite good. I have been to
the doctor a couple of times but have been given a clean bill of health.
Thanks for your continued prayers in this area .

Good news and bad news on the driving front. The good news
is the State finally released the funds for my van modification. The bad
news is this did not happen until Friday. This means we should be able to
start the van conversion in the next week or so. The conversion will take
4 to 6 weeks. Then I will have 2 to 4 weeks of lessons. I
should be driving just in time for Christmas .

School is still going great. I have three weekends
left. Since I go every other week, that means five more weeks. The
last class is a entrepreneurial class, and I have convinced my team that we
should tackle Businelle Company as our class project. I have had a lot of
good input so far and am looking forward to more.

Jill's job is going well. As you might imagine, she is
super busy with work, school, me, the house, Sugar and a lot of other things.
The Lord continues to bless her with good health, spirit and attitude. She
has 10 days of vacation to use this year; so, I am hoping to find her some
R&R that she is willing to take. Please spend even more time praying
for Jill as you do for me since her burden is still quite heavy.

So many people ask about Sugar that I thought I would give an
update on her as well. We took her to a service dog training class.
She is a quick study, so we have high hopes for her being able to help me do
things like pickup dropped items. All I really want to do is give her the
service dog vest. That way, I can take her with me wherever I go.
Even as I just said the (G-O) word, she jumped to attention and is staring
at me. She's a great dog!

Ephesians 4: 29 - "Do not let any unwholesome talk come out
of your mouth, but only what is helpful for building others up according to
their needs, that it may benefit those that listen."
